Chassi renovation

2002-02-26 by cat7even

Hi 
Short update on the chassi renovation.
rust rust rust rust grind grind cut weld weld.



No pictures as they would show too much of my crude welding 
technique. Bought a new pair of weldglasses that actually let som 
light through hopefully I´ll see what I´m welding from now on. I´m 
trying to keep it in period style.
Basically everything not covered by british rustproofing system
(engine gearbox diff) is contaminated. As I dont have any flat 
surface I tend to make help-frames to assure angles etc. and then 
cut. As for British rustproofing standards 1 layer of cheap paint 
couldnt be sufficient for any period longer than 4 weeks?. I will be 
going for hammerite or yacht paint this time
